Document 26 Date 08 July 2022 Time 20:52 2022 AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX 07 - 10 July 2022 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 21) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter, and determine

the following:

No / Driver 63 - George Russell Competitor Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team

Time 18:09

Session Qualifying Fact The driver of car 63 entered the track on foot at 18:09. Offence Breach of Article 12.2.1.h) of the FIA International Sporting Code and/or Article 26.7 b) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Decision Warning for the driver. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 63 (George Russell) and team representatives and examined video evidence. Russell had just crashed in turn 10 and caused a red flag. He then crossed the track on foot and entered the section of the pit lane that does not have a speed limit, without permission from any marshals. At the time he started crossing the track, some of the cars were still on track and could possibly have missed the pit entry, causing an unsafe situation. The stewards spoke to the driver and he was issued a warning. Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Chapter 4 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
